Urban living redefined.

The urban setting creates its own set of impacts that make designing wonderful living spaces a unique challenge. The city experience is enjoyed by people of all stripes and strata. Whether it’s a luxury condominium or affordable housing, Hobin Architecture instills each urban living project with the same qualities — dignity, identity and delight.

The Merit

We design each project knowing we are also building communities. Each design is part of a greater story which continues to develop. We understand that our work can have an impact, and we value this challenge above all else.

Our projects recognize the need to allow each resident to revelop a pride of ownership in their individual space and the collective identity. Each building is designed to harmonize with the natural elements, the urban context and the lives of their inhabitants.
